21andtrying - EPU = Egg Pick Up (egg collection)
Estrogen should be about 1000 for ovulation and a mature egg. My FS (fertility specialist) says she uses it to approximate how many eggs are there in addition to the follicle count. (As Samarasmum mentioned getting more than one egg from a large follicle).

Thank you Perths we are not doing iui or ivf just oi so no epu for us. Have triggered tonight so it will be a lot of baby dancing for us this weekend good luck samarasmum fingers abd everything else crossed for you ( hehe expect my legs this week end sorry ;p)

I did Oi last time and am now three months pregnant. Please gd by you too. Enjoy. I recommend swinging your legs around against the wall after the baby dancing, stay like that for 20 mins...it works lol!

Thats great news hopefully2! I hope it works for us too i got a positive on my lh poas for the first time ever so i was very happy with that! Bloods again on the 23rd, not sure what this will tell me? Im assuming it will tell me if i ovulated fx for all those ladies trying for the new year

Samarasmum!! What can I say?! Congratulations!!!
52 is fine for only 4 weeks. I know someone who was only at 38, and is now just 13 weeks. (I know this because she was 2 days infront of me, and my hcg was 34...I miscarried). Fingers crossed Fridays test shows it zooming up there.

Oh my gosh congratulations Samarasmum! Such good news, let's hope it happens for us soon too

Just a quick question ladies, how will I know if I have actually ovulated? I am still getting a positive in my tests, so will that go down post ovulation? I have have a lot of sharp pains in my ovaries over the past few hours and I'm hoping this is good?

I think I'm starting to wear out DH hehe but once I know I have ovulated we can break lol fun experience though and DH is into it for a change

I have a BT on the 23rd, that will be 7 days after my trigger, what should my levels be at? I am also on progesterone pessaries?

21and tryin g - normally you should ovulate abour 24 to 48 hours after your trigger injection.
Yes, most of us are on progesterone (pessaries or the horrid gel, Crinone) and that will give you lots of cramping which can feel like ovulation, period pain or pregnancy 'stretching'. So, IMHO, if you're on medication, ignore all the twinges! It's the medication!
I expect you'll be on the pessaries for the first timester, or at least until the FS thinks you're all clear.
Sperm should hang around for about 3 days on average, so really, you only need to have sex once every 2 or 3 days over your ovulation window and you should be fine. I'm surprised your fertility nurse didn't go through all the details with you! Don't be shy - if you have questions, just phone them! That is what they're for and I'm sure they've been asked everything before.
